Elementary PE

I was really hoping to get called today by Enterprise Middle School since I had such a good experience there on Friday. However, the call never came and I really wanted to work today. As I looked at the 5-6 job opportunities, the one that grabbed me most was PE at Jefferson Elementary. I like games. I like kids. Sounded like a winner.

And it was. I had classes of 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th graders. We played with the very large parachute and it was fun to get kids excited. I had one boy who was removed from the class for behavior issues (it's hard to manage the behavior issue and keep the class moving well). I also had a girl with a bloody mouth at one point (she lost a loose tooth during the class).

However, overall it was just a great day. How good is the Lord to me? I thought several times that I wanted to bring the Kingdom of Jesus to Jefferson today. I think my call is to go above and beyond what subs would normally be expected to do. When I got done with my PE I went to the office and asked if I could do anything else. They sent me to the library and I shelved books. When my day was done at 2:20, the office woman asked if I could take over for an ill teacher. That was good.

When I left the secretary said she hoped they could have me sub again and that was encouraging. I really hope people see the life of Christ as servant in me. I figure that shows the Kingdom better than just about anything else.
